Did you mean combustion?
Combustion is the chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant which will produce heat. Ex: a camp-fire is a combustion, the gas being burned in the engine of your car is also.

What type of reaction is C3H8 plus O2 ----- CO2 plus H2O?
It is a combustion reaction, which is a reaction in which a substance combines with oxygen, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.
Is 2SO2 plus O2 equals 2SO3 a combustion reaction Why or why not?
Not a combustion reaction. Combustion reactions produce CO2 and H2O.
What is the chemical term for burning a fuel?
The scientific term for burning to death is Immolation
What is the name given to the burning process of fossil fuels?
Combustion is basically OXIDATION.
What is the heat of combustion for decane?
The heat of combustion for decane is 6779 kJ / mol. Heat of combustion increases with chain length of alkanes.
Is the burning of petrol in cars an example of complete combustion or incomplete combustion Explain?
Ideally, complete combustion. In practice it isn't always, which is why cars have catalytic converters.
How can you explain the role of oxygen in combustion?
Oxygen is the oxidant in this reaction.
Explain how to advoid incomplete combustion?
To ensure complete combustion, make sure that there is plenty of oxygen so that all the reactants have a chance to combust.
Explain what heat engines do and name the process in which they use to burn fuel?
Combustion
What is knocking Explain mechanism of knocking?
in order for an engine to operate satisfactorily combustion of the air fuel mixture must be smooth and normal combustion .normal combustion defined as all combustion process which is initiated solely by atimed spark and in which the flame front moves completely a cross the combustion in a uniform at normal velocity.
Explain why complete combustion is desirable?
The advantages of a complete combustion reaction are that they don't release as harmful toxic pollutants. In an incomplete combustion Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and carbon is released. A complete combustion only releases carbon dioxide.
Is there such a thing as Magentic pulse assisted combustion Magnetic repulsive force used to help push down the piston in an internal combustion engine?
Yes but why would i explain and just give that knowledge of power away. sorry
Explain the power sources in a hybrid car.?
Gasoline burned in a standard internal combustion engine.Electricity stored in a battery used to turn an electric motor.
What is the difference between spontaneous combustion and rapid combustion?
differentiate rapid combustion to spontaneous combustion
Is rusting and combustion is same?
rusting or "corrosion" is a process where a metal is introduced to moisture. thus the metal will get rusty... combustion is a process. the combustion process is the result of fuel (of some sort) is introduced to a ignition source. i.e. take a gallon of gasoline, and within a close proximity light a match (*BOOM*) thus is combustion. the answer to your question is no, rusting and combustion are two different and entirety separate processes. these are extremely simple examples to answer your question. there are many different examples. but these are how I'd explain them to my young son, so they may be easy to understand. hope that helps, cheers. e.
What is the most important difference between and internal combustion engine and an external combustion engine?
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
What is the most important difference between an international combustion engine and an external combustion engine?
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
